DOYLESTOWN, PA – January 27, 2009 – QuantRx® Biomedical Corporation (OTCBB:QTXB), a broad-based diagnostics company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic products based on its patented technology platforms for the worldwide healthcare industry, is pleased to announce that QuantRx’s FluoroPharma, Inc. has been issuedU.S. Patent No. 7,438,891, covering methods of imaging cardiovascular plaque formation using F18 labeled 2-fluorodeoxy-D-glucose (FDG), by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This patent, exclusively licensed from the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), provides FluoroPharma with additional patent claims that cover imaging of atherosclerotic plaque inflammation and rupture.

“The use of 18F-FDG PET for imaging atherosclerosis, for tracking inflammation within plaque and for monitoring the response to drug therapy is promising and should be part of our future diagnostic armament,” said Dr. David Elmaleh, FluoroPharma founder and Chief Scientific Advisor.

“Molecular imaging of the inflammatory status of vulnerable atherosclerotic lesions is of paramount importance for the identification of patients at risk for a future heart attack or stroke,” said Dr. Tom Brady, Director of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging Division at the MGH. Dr. Brady added, “In vivo noninvasive clinical studies to measure carotid plaque inflammation show that 18F –FDG PET imaging can identify a subset of patients with carotid atherosclerosis that may benefit from intensified medical therapy or carotid artery intervention to prevent stroke.”
